Or, will PHY probe() not touch registers, but only do so during > the standard PHY open/init "op"/API calls? Yes, PHY driver probe does not touch any registers. It just sets up the PHY API hooks. These APIs will be called from ehci-tegra.c as part of ehci tegra probe function, after getting PHY handle, which in turn happens after issuing above reset.

I assume it has access to the appropriate clock object. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
